Glory in the Lord, who provides us all Good Things

"But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD." (Jeremiah 9: 24)

Let us see Jesus as our righteousness, as well as our grace, and knowlegem, and all other great things in our lives.

We know this because He gave us His Son:

"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8: 31-32)

and then

"30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." (1 Corinthians 1: 30-31)

"19But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen." (Philippians 4: 19-20)

God is glorified when we allow His Son to supply all of our need! Keep on receiving His gifts of righteousness and grace (Romans 5: 17), and all other things will be added unto you (Matthew 6: 33-34)
